Calif. Assembly Passes Water Plan - Politics News Story - KCRA Sacramento:
"SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The California Assembly has passed a plan aimed at increasing water supply reliability while improving the fragile Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the source of drinking water for two-thirds of the state.
The plan includes both a policy package intended to improve water conservation, groundwater monitoring, water rights and governance, as well as a water infrastructure bond to be placed on next year's ballot.
The state Senate approved much of the deal on Tuesday."
"The package includes conservation and storage, groundwater protection, water rights protection, and Delta protection and represents the most significant water infrastructure and policy advances since the State Water Project in the 1960s," Assembly Speaker Karen Bass said in a prepared statement. "This is a responsible plan -- no one is getting 100 percent of what they want. Everyone who gets something has to give something, too. It is the only way to balance the many different individual interests for the overall greater good of having a safe and stable water supply for the entire State of California."
